The purpose of the Five-Year Review is to confirm that the selected remedies are functioning as intended and continue to protect the public health and the environment. A summary of activities and an evaluation of the protectiveness of the implemented remedy will be included in the Five-Year Review report.

Under CERCLA, reviews of long-term remedial actions are required every five years until the sites are cleaned up to levels that are suitable for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure (UU/UE). The Air Force intends to complete this review by mid-2027, at which time a final report will be provided for public access on the Air Force's Administrative Record file database at: https://ar.cce.af.mil/ If you have any questions or would like more information on the sites under review, please contact: Sean Eldredge BRAC Environmental Coordinator Air Force Civil Engineer Center 2261 Hughes Avenue, Building 171, Suite 155 Joint Base San Antonio Lackland, TX 78236 9-20/2026
